Does anyone have hints for how to confirm the optimal distance from nylon slide to the rotator gear?
I noticed the new track has a wider tooth and valley design - and I think the gear wheel sits deeper in it -so I wonder if it sits a 0.5 mm or deeper into the track - meaning the nylon slide may need a packing piece to sit the correct distance from gear wheel?
Owen from Sirius Domes said you may need to put a bit of carboard in - I wonder does he mean between the metal housing of the slider and the nylon - to make it sit lower and closer to the gear.
When I repalced the final fourth section of the track - and before I have changed teh slider - I notice the track segment jammed in a few places - and needed a slight push or a slight change of height of the track neare the motor - a push up or down - to get it turning well.
It makes me believe the track height and distance from gear wheel to nylon slide has to be very finey adjust to get it to all works reliably agin - my job for this week!
At least the home position sensor I bought from Digikey in the USA (for $12 + shipping) worked perfectly!
